    <p>
        Welcome to the <strong>The Peers Community</strong>, a highly motivated
        community of people with a strong interest in
        <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software">free software</a>
        and
        <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_culture_movement">free culture</a>.
    </p>
    <p>We all help each other toward the common goal of supporting and growing free projects. The Peers Community provides a list of independent projects that all strive for free (as in freedom!) software and culture. If you would like to learn more about a particular project, feel free to reach out to them directly.</p>

    <p>
        Every Friday around 19:00Z - 21:00Z, we meet on irc.freenode.net #peers
        to collaborate on active Peers projects. Everybody has the opportunity to
        ask for help with any open issues in their projects, and we work together
        to try to fix them. We have a short list of quick <a href="https://notabug.org/peers/project-jams">project jam ideas</a>.
    </p>
    <p>
        Would you like to help too? Feel free to join us! It's a good opportunity
        to help a free project, and also to get to know us! You can also read about
        past Jams in <a href="/category/blog.html">the blog section</a>.
